The Three Bears

As I've said before, I had real difficulties coming up with "Fantasy" themed pieces for the Fantasy Ball. I like bears, and I really like making them, so here are the three bears from Goldilocks! Pappa is 15cm tall, Mamma is 14cm and Baby is 7cm, the larger bears have wired arms, so that they can cuddle their baby. There is more information about them on the Fantasy Ball page on the TBACA website.

Hi Linda,I am a huge admirer of your bears. I want to get one of the patterns from Bear Essense but I also was thinking about one of the kits. I want to learn how to make the open mouths. I abviously can't make it to one of your wonderful classes unless you are coming to Oregon. Do you have a book or tutorial or dvd on how to make the open mouths on your bears. At first I thought it was an already made item like the noses or eyelids or such. But the closer I look I think they are stitched, right?If there is any way possible can you let me know how I can learn this from you?Thank youJan MacKaygandolf183@aol.com

About Me

I am a textile artist, I spend my days creating bears for collectors. It gives me the greatest pleasure to see the smiles my bears bring, to collectors, and I love the reactions from children! They are so honest!
